How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think tikat numbers and math are the same all over the world* But scientists have discovered that it is not true.

People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In theUnited States, people begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out.They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指) to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.

Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的) people in Australia. These people don't have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don't even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.

In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piranha tribe(部落) in northwestern Brazil don't have words for numbers such as "one" or 6'three". They are not able to say 66five trees" or "ten trees" but can say "some trees," "more trees," or 66many trees." Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, t6but here is a group tbat does not count. They could learn, but it isn't not useful in their culture, so they've never picked it up."

Although ali[ humans are able to understand quantities(數(shù)量:) ,not alllanguages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2014-2015學(xué)年山東濟(jì)南市槐蔭區(qū)九年級(jí)階段性測(cè)試一模英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:其他題

Want to travel as cheaply as possible while enjoying as many beautiful places as you like?

Backpacking is the way. As the most popular traveling choice among young western people, backpacking allows you to travel at your own free will. Carrying a tent, a sleeping bag and clothes, backpackers(背包客) also need to pack a spirit that will help them deal with many challenges.

It is exciting to put our ability to test and challenge ourselves with the difficulties we might meet with. So, backpacking is something that almost all young people want to try.

The rich might stay in expensive hotels where everything is provided. But backpackers carry everything in a large bag and depend on themselves to travel through unknown places.

To travel with as little money as possible, they stay in cheap hotels, or in schools and universities, and they even sleep in railway stations, in tents, or under bridges.

Young people in Europe often travel around by train. Now, with plane tickets dropping in price, more are traveling to countries far away. And some just travel within their own countries.

But no matter where a backpacker travels, planning in advance(提前) is important if he or she wants to enjoy the trip.

Clothing

In summer, light, waterproof (防水的) clothes are best. Backpackers must remember to travel lightly and not pack too many clothes.

Medicine

There are many medicines especially for summer, such as those for sunstroke (中暑). Others are useful in every season, such as those for common colds.

Cards

Three types of cards are valuable for backpackers: student Identity Card, personal ID and a credit card.

A student ID card can be helpful for saving money. It often gets train tickets and entrance tickets at cheaper prices in many western countries.

Personal ID cards can not only get you out of trouble with local police, but also prove useful in all kinds of other situations.

Carrying a credit card can be a safer way than carrying money, as cash can easily get lost, stolen or wet.

Travelers in a foreign country must always take care of their passports.

And of course, don’t forget to enjoy your trip!
